A Convergence of Craftsmanship and Sensory Discovery
Huvafen Maldives is set to elevate the standard of luxury experiential travel with an exclusive wine collaboration featuring RIEDEL, the legendary Austrian glassware authority. Taking place on 1 and 2 April 2026, this landmark event invites connoisseurs into Vinum, the Maldives’ first and most iconic underground wine cellar, located eight meters beneath the island’s surface.
For travel trade partners, this partnership represents a high-value opportunity to cater to the “Oenophile Traveler”-a segment that prioritizes education, heritage, and world-class brand collaborations in their holiday choices.
The RIEDEL Wine Glass Experience: April 2026
Hosted personally by Maximilian J. Riedel, 11th-generation CEO of RIEDEL, the “Wine Glass Experience” is a sensory workshop designed to demonstrate how the architecture of a glass can transform the profile of a wine.

Vinum: The Ultimate Subterranean Setting
Vinum remains one of the Maldives’ most exclusive architectural wonders. Housing over 6,000 vintage bottles, this climate-controlled sanctuary provides an intimate, cinematic backdrop for Maximilian Riedel’s storytelling.

- Curated Pairings: The experience highlights how RIEDEL’s functional tools interact with the resort’s premium selection of Old and New World wines.
“A glass can make the wine shine or destroy its magic. I look forward to demonstrating this enormous difference in the extraordinary underground setting of Huvafen Fushi.” — Maximilian J. Riedel, CEO of RIEDEL.
